Highway Girl

"Highway Girl" - The Tragically Hip

>From the EP THE TRAGICALLY HIP, 1987, MCA Records.

Wow, I didn't plan on doing this much tab but once I got started I

couldn't stop - even a solo for ya! I've never tabbed a solo

before and I'm playing on an acoustic so I'm not sure if

it's totally accurate. Corrections/comments are welcome.

LYRICS:

=========

Well I'm going down to see my Highway Girl

Yeah, she just got back from around the world

I'm gonna get me a gun I'm gonna stand on guard

In a little white booth in her front yard

Throwing rocks at her window what could she do

If you throw enough rocks one might break through

Well she looked out her window when the police came

Yeah, to see a big tin man dancing in the rain

Ohhhhhhhhh, my little Highway Girl

Ohhhhhhhhh, my little Highway Girl

Yeah...

Don't you think babe you push a bit too fast

I said slowing down don't make it last

Yeah, she said a memory's never gonna set you free

Ohhhhh, go out and see that world and bring it home to me
